Answering Misquoted Ahadith By Non Ahmadi Muslims

This is another famous allegation of the non Ahmadi Muslims which is not just a lie upon Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) rather a lie upon Allah and the Qur’an as well.

The allegation of the non Ahmadi Muslims is that in Sahih Muslim the Holy Prophetsaw has been recorded to have said that Isaas who was sent to Bani Israel resembled Urwa bin Masud, while in Sahih Muslim again in regards to the latter day messiah, hesaw has also said the same. First of all when we look at the most authentic book after the Qur’an, Bukhari, we are told that the messiahs would not resemble each other and be two different people.

Meaning Isa(as) will be exalted in the Presence of Allah and will be given spiritual raise and nearness to Allah (same type of Raf’a Allah rewards the believers with)

It is narrated from Sa’id bin Jubair from Ibn Abbas [about]; “No one will remain from among the People of the Book but will certainly believe in him before he dies.” He said; “Before the death of Eisa ibn Maryam.”

Firstly let us make it clear that even if the ahadith did mention heavens, which they do not, it would still not prove Isa(as) is alive as we will show from the Quran what it means when something descends from heaven. The Qur’an states:

Now I find it astonishing that the non Ahmadi Muslims have not at all posted the entire saying attributed to the great companion. This gives me the feeling that even they know such a saying as no basis from the Qur’an rather contradicts not just the book of Allah but also his attributes.

Firstly, it is clear that Isaas has died according to the Qur’an and the Ahadith. Secondly a lot of non Ahmadi Muslims have quoted a hadith which states that the latter day masih would be buried with Muhammadsaw, and quote it to be in Tirmidhi.

The main question which arises when it is said that the latter day messiah would be in the likeness of the Messiah Isa Ibn Maryam, is that why was he called Isa Ibn Maryam, if it would be a metaphorical coming?They try saying why is “like not mentioned” I would firstly answer this in the words of the Promised Messiah(as) himself. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) states:

Now it is always asked that if Isa(as) is indeed dead than did the Prophet Muhammad(saw) give us statements which prove this messiah would be different? Indeed he has. First proof for this is that the hadith quoted above itself used the word nazul.

Now the next part states “imamukum Minkum”. This is yet another proof in the same exact hadith that shows he would be an imam from amongst ourselves rather than from somewhere else.

“When will be the day of Resurrection? When the eye is dazzled, And the moon is eclipsed, And the sun and the moon are brought together, On that day man will say, whither to escape?”  (Chapter 75 Verses 7-11)

Allah can do anything He wants but never would He go against His words of the Qur’an in which He clearly has stated that once a person dies never do they return.

Two of the greatest signs in regards to the end times which were prophesied by the Holy Prophet Muhammad^saw, were Dajjal and Gog and Magog. Firstly, we find the mention of the word Dajjal in many ahadith but not in the Qur’an.

This entire hadith about the latter day Messiah was fulfilled in Ahmad^as. Each sign will be discussed one by one. The first sign mentioned is that The Messiah would be a Just ruler. The Holy Prophet Muhammad^saw has simply told us tht he would be a judge between the Muslims and also the non Muslims.

Narrated Abu Huraira:Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The Hour will not be established until the son of Mary descends amongst you as a just ruler, he will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the Jizya tax. Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 43, Hadith #656)

The next sign of the Messiah of the Latter days which will be discussed is the killing of the swine. This is another metaphorical sign of the Messiah, and does not literally mean that the messiah would come to kill pigs.

The next sign which will be discussed is the abolition of Jizya. Firstly, jizya is a ta which non Muslims are forced to pay durings the wars for protection. Whenever there was an Islamic state, and a military threat came into existence, which would interfere with the peace of the state, this tax was a must for the non Muslims.

The next sign of this hadith which will be discussed is the abundance of wealth that nobody would accept it. Now this is another sign in the same prophecy of the Holy Prophetsaw. It would not make sense for one to take the whole hadith as metaphorical, and only take one sign literally.

The sign which will now be discssed, is the killing of the Dajjal at the Gate of Ludd. Dajjal and Gog and Magog would have its own section, and the purpose of this explanaton will primarily be in regards to the Gate of Ludd.

The context of this hadith is that during the advent of the Messiah there would be great powers on earth and he would think of fighting them for the sake of Islam but Allah would reveal to him that We have Created two big powers on earth and it is not for any man to fight them so do not fight them materially.

“Allah would send Christ, son of Mary, and he will descend at the white minaret in the Eastern side of Damascus” (Sahih Muslim 2937 a)

One of the primary objection the non Ahmadi Muslims have against Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad^as of Qadian is that he was not from the family of the Holy Prophet Muhammad^saw.

The Holy Prophet Muhammad^saw stated in regards to a vision which foretold the coming of the messiah that he would descend with two angels and would be wearing yellow garments. This is another vision of the Prophet Muhammad^saw and therefore is interpreted and not to be taken literally.

It’s quite sad that some Muslims take this prophecy of Muhammad(Saw) to be literal. Firstly, they need to understand that a lot of the prophecies in regards to the Messiah(as) are full of metaphorical language.

This saying attributed to Hazrat Basri^rh does not have a complete chain and cannot be trusted as it contradicts the Qur’an and Ahadith which are much more authentic.

Another hadith many quote is from ibn maja which attributes Isa(as) to have said he would descend (during the miraj ) and kill dajjal. There is really no point of discussing this as one of the biggest scholar of the non ahmadis has graded it daif which should be a suffice answer.

This allegation will only be raised by the ones who do not have any knowledge on Ahadith. The non Ahmadis state that Imam Bukhari^ra has not given the sanad of the statement of Ibn Abbas^ra which states:

This is a totally daif tafseer and here and many references from non Ahmadi scholars themselves.

The interpretation which is attributed to Abu Huraira^ra is not a hadith rather a supposed interpretation of his own, which contradicts the Qur’an and other Ahadith narrated by him.

Allegation that in Fasal al Khitab the First Khalifa translated “all messengers as some” and qabla mauthihi was attributed to Isa:

Many non Ahmadi Muslims quote the hadith which states that the Messiah and Mahdi would bring peace to the world. We need to understand that this hadith should not be interpreted in a way where the interpretations contradicts what Allah has Stated in the Qur’an.

Another primary difference between the Ahmadi and non Ahmadi Muslims is in regards to the Messiah and Mahdi being one person with both of these titles. This is misunderstood by many, but if one pays attention to the ahadith this issue becomes extremely clear.
